PUMPKIN ALFREDO SAUCE
This recipe was a nice way to use up some extra pumpkin we had available. Served it to one person who really enjoys pumpkin (myself) and one who doesn't, and both came away really liking it! Has enough flavor that the pumpkin makes itself known, but not so much that it overpowers the alfredo flavor or texture. Recipe makes enough to toss with one cooked 12 oz. box of pasta.

- Use a high-quality Alfredo sauce. A good Alfredo sauce should be creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. You can use a store-bought Alfredo sauce or make your own from scratch.
- Add some protein. This recipe can easily be made into a complete meal by adding some protein, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Serve immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when served immediately after it is made. If you need to make the sauce ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce over low heat before serving.
